We plan on using the Context option to index 1.5 million records of generally less than 1K in size (plain text). Does any of you have experiences with Context? Is it a stable and finished product?

We've installed it a month ago on a Digital Alpha 2100 with 512 Mb's of memory. We find that it is a little slow with response times of 30-60 seconds for 200 hits. The 30-60 seconds are from the time I hit enter untill the first record is shown on the screen. I am using Sql*plus.

Also it looks as if Oracle uses very large amounts of storage for the records, at least 2K per record? Sounds familiar?
